Decorating Easter Eggs

Over the weekend, we decorated Easter Eggs. Though it was fun, decorating eggs with a 3 yr. old and a 1 yr. old is nerve wracking because:
1) The eggs are cracked before they are even dyed. (I think Alexa dropped at least 2-3 eggs on the floor)
2) It is MESSY doing this - the dye does not come off your clothes that easily...
Still, we had tons of fun, and we had nice colored hands to show for it afterwards.
